My new mindee started sept, mum at uni and dad works. Both young, married and struggle like us all.

Anyway, mum has said today tha she's not entitled to Childcare element of her bursary. Health nursing.

My sis is at uni, (diff one) and her friends who have children get a lot of help and it's helpful.

Is it means tested, as I really want to help mum, and did offer to do Ad hoc care but minimum of 10hrs a week. Although at the minute mindee is full time .

Her bursary doesn't cover Childcare.

Is there any extra help for students at uni with children?

Any ideas or advice would be great as I really hope she continues.

There should be someone in college who will help with hardship funds etc... is it worth ringing and asking for the person's name? :D
